You're right, colored sugar is expensive, but for whatever reason, I never thought to make my own. I like to use colored sugar around the rim of the glasses for get togethers and the red and green is perfect for the holidays. Thanks for sharing.beneaththeelmtree.blogspot.com

Thanks Lois , this is a super sweet tip, I will not be buying colored sugar anymore, yours looks so much better! I spoke with my mom this morning and asked what she did yesterday, her reply was "I baked over 500 cookies," she preceded to name the different kinds, I also asked her how many she ate while doing all this baking, her reply was "two"! my reply was " You have more self control than I, as I would have consumed at least ten of each."lol.Thanks for sharing.Hugs,Suep.s her self control explains her tiny waist.

What a nice post. I have made and posted sprinkles that I made so I must try to make some colored sugars. Thank you The sprinkles taste so much better then the purchased ones but a little time consuming and arm breaking!!!! andi
